NEW YORK—In a groundbreaking new study published Friday in The Journal Of East Asian Studies, a team of leading historians has proved that meditation originally spread from ancient China because a single, highly annoying monk went around telling everyone how much it had changed his life.

Analyzing documents uncovered across the Eurasian continent, researchers determined that the monk, who lived in the seventh century A.D. and learned rudimentary breathing and visualization exercises from a group of Mahayana Buddhists, traveled widely and talked constantly about how practicing meditation for only a week had fundamentally altered his personal outlook.

A Joke.
Two deaf men are on a train passing through London.
The first man says 'is this Wembley?'
The second man replies 'No, it's Thursday.'
The first man says 'So am I, let's get out and have a drink'.

As I said, a joke. Not in any way a satirical comment on internet forum conversations.
